    Does hell exist?

    44,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 That's roughly how many solar systems you'd have to visit in order to rule out earth type of life forms not existing in the observable universe. That's how unique earth like conditions may be. 44,000,000,000 in just in our galaxy.

    Does hell exist?

    Using data collected by Kepler Space Observatory 22% of the solar stars in our galaxy have an earth sized plant in the habitable zone. (That's 22% times at least 200 billion just in our galaxy) There are somewhere around one trillion galaxies is the observable universe. The moon doesnt have a necessary role for life to have developed on our planet. How fast, relatively, life developed on earth has most scientists agreeing it's highly likely we arent the only ones. We're still trying to prove/disprove life possibly happening on Mars for fok sake. Every single animal dont create the ecosystem for themselves. Natural selection and evolution more than adequately explain what you are trying to say. Oceans arent perfectly performing. There are a ton of intelligent species on our planet. Good grief. May I suggest some Carl Segan or Neal Degrasse videos?

    A - Coincidence. I bet you know someone (6 degrees of seperation) that is newly pregnant right now. B - Even if she somehow knows things, why is it a second hand supernatural that is telling her.

    Oh, you're stuck on something he said instead of actual policy. Going to need a link for that since that's where you struggle.

    Top 10 Signs You’re Wearing Trump Sneakers

    Buy America and Buy American are federal regulations that apply to contracts that involve federal funding. Has zero to do with private companies or businesses, unless they take on government contracts. Private businesses can alway source products from wherever they want Don’t feel dumb, a lot of people don’t understand that.

    Top 10 Signs You’re Wearing Trump Sneakers

    Do you pay more on your taxes than you are required to? Does your employer, Arby's, get it's products from a more expensive source because they are concerned about workers? Wait a minute, did you know Smithfield Foods is owned by a Chinese-owned conglomerate WH Group? Why don't you quit your job immediately? Why would a business man not make as much money as possible on a business?

    Top 10 Signs You’re Wearing Trump Sneakers

    Trump imposed tariffs on goods from China, and Biden to his credit kept them in place. Sneakers are still cheaper and better from China. Would you like more tariffs? Trump is proposing 10% flat rate on all imported goods. Vote for Trump if you're concerned about American workers making sneakers.

    Very Hindu-ish then, because those aren't Christian beliefs. The human brain is something we are still learning about almost as full with as many mysteries as the universe. I mean I have some really crazy dreams, don't you? However, there are some very explainable things with near death experiences. Dreams aren't real, but, many psychologists believe they are used for problem solving and routine brain activation and maintenance. If your brain knows your body is near death it is likely processing that problem and if you have any preconceived notions about the afterlife it only makes sense they would manifest themselves. It's not very interesting to me that a Catholic saw Mother Mary calling to them on their death bed after believing that all their lives and especially on Sunday. What would be interesting to me is if a large number of Muslims saw the Catholic version of heaven, or better yet some group of African tribesmen that have never been exposed to the Abrahamic religions saw that. That would be something. So what we have left is reincarnation, psychics and your own personal story. Nothing which I can do much without more specifics. There was the The One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge, an offer by the James Randi Educational Foundation for psychics that nobody was able to claim. If psychics are real they sure are hidden and not looking to make money, except for the ones pretending to be psychics that will gladly take your money.

    Not sure how you're making a distinction between arguing and discussing. It must come from an impression that I'm saying I know definitively the origins of the universe, or have all the answers, which would be silly. All I said was that intelligent design or god-of-the-gaps are faulty constructs that don't hold up to simple statistical probability or Occom's razor. There has to be something else there, maybe a near death experience. Just the human brain knowing there was a chance you've seen your last ash tree blossom can explain all sorts of feelings and emotions. I like the idea of a collective positive energy, Karma. And I'd give ground to meditation over prayer. There is definitely evidence we can point to for positive outcomes in health and lifestyle by use of positive thinking. But, I don't know that we need to label that God, rather than take credit yourself. I'll just quote Bob Marley, "almighty god is a living man". Anyway, that's not the type of God that most people are refereeing to

    Duh. China makes by far the most shoes in the world including all the top 10 manufacturers. You don't think Donald would settle for anything but the best would you. Dumbasss liberals think this is some sort of gotcha.

    Perfect example of this lying blowhard. First it was not very many, then when presented with facts it changes to they don't take any more than the average citizen. Next they will deserve it as much as Americans: Everyone just stop responding to this thread. He's a complete waist of your time. Then maybe he will go away for good. Yeah right.

    Not sure if it's what you meant, but, multiple universe theory would definitely explain how a single universe (say the one observed by humans) could seemingly pop into (big bang) and out of existence without the requirement for there to be a beginning or energy and matter coming from nothing. If universes were as simple as subatomic particles, just on a grand scale, one could be created by another universe dropping down a level as simple as an electron dropping down an atomic level and emitting a photon. We're forgetting Einstein's General Relativity, we're only looking at it from our internal point of view.

    Again, who created the creator? Something from nothing is statistically more probable (and logical) than saying something from nothing by a creator who we have to assume also came from nothing. This may seem like a technicality, but, as I've pointed out previously there may be several explanations for the big bang, some of which don't require something from nothing. And it just may be that we don't have the intellectual capability and obviously the theoretical physics to explain and understand it all yet. That's infinitely more probably that the supernatural. Again, we've seen that throughout our history from actually worshiping the sun as some deity all the way down through one last explanation for the big bang. You don't believe in any of the hundreds of gods that humans believed in before your current god.

    Saying something like that is the opposite of science. I went to and listened to Stephen Hawkins give a lecture once where he said we would never know exactly what happens inside a black hole. That was the worst thing I've ever heard him say. He might as well have told the scientists to stop studying black holes. Luckily they didn't and we know have mathematical models that account for most all of the energy and make up of a black hole even if we still don't fully understand them. Science doesn't need miracles. There is a fascinating book I suggest you read by Lawrence Krauss, A Universe from Nothing. He provides several theories on this topic all of which, even the most unlikely, are way more probably than the religious supernatural being explanations. But, in essence, nothing is unstable which makes the null situation very unlikely.
